This class is designed for people with knowledge of basic ballet barre steps, positions and ballet technique. If you like to get a good workout, have fun and learn a lot this class is for you. Our focus is on strengthening your foundational ballet skills while adding new ones to your repertoire. One session of beginning ballet is the pre-requisite for this class. The experienced instructor will provide personalized guidance to each student, enhancing their ballet skills and strength while ensuring safe practices to prevent pain and injury. This is a hybrid class so you can attend in person or join online via Zoom or a mixture of both. Beginning/Intermediate Ballet is the next step up from the Fundamentals of Ballet class. Students are expected to know all barre steps and basic technique, but not necessarily many center-work steps. This class is also good for people who are coming back to dance and remember some basics but could use the review or just want to get back into ballet shape. Also great for more advanced dancers looking for an easier class to improve their technique. If you have any questions about what class to sign up for just email us and we can help. The most important thing is for all students to be doing ballet safely. communityed@edinaschools.org Kaethe Birkner: Kaethe is a professional ballet dancer and certified Pilates instructor through Balanced Body, with ten years of experience teaching ballet, Pilates, and stretching classes, and eight years of personal training.
